ABSTRACT

Tryptophan (TRP) is an essential amino-acid and the precursor of many signaling molecules. Under the catalysis of indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase, kynurenine pathway can form its metabolites uroquinolinic acid and quinolinic acid, which is the main channel of TRP metabolism.Through different mechanisms in N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor, they participate in nervous modulation, affect cognitive processes and play an important role in many central nervous system diseases development. Kynurenine pathway is different under physiological and pathological conditions. In addition, there are many rate-limiting enzymes in the kynurenine pathway, which can interfere kynurenine pathway. This article reviews the relationship between tryptophan/kynurenine pathway and cognitive dysfunction.
